A liturgical ripping of the Daily Mail is not without attraction. Just one example is that not long ago it was caught out in the act of seeking stories that would reflect badly on East Europeans in Britain. Still the list of offences by this rag is just about endless. It merits only shunning!

Is it "mine"? - with the implication that anyone who disagrees with my "biblical truth" isn't a real Christian.. How does anyone who believes that their truth is biblical and other folk's plainly isn't, actually keep up that belief? Do they hold that everyone else has chosen to actively go against scripture even if they say they believe it? Or are the others just misled or mistaken? If the former - how do we know that aint true for those at Virtue Online or in the Daily Mail? And if the latter - how do we know who's misled and who isn't? If Biblical truth is so obvious - which is it? Are the opposition deliberately lying? And yet they also claim to be based on Scripture. And if people are being led astray then Biblical truth seems less than obvious... In either case we simply can't say that it is obvious can we or neither would be possible and no-one would disagree whilst also claiming to be Christian? Sorry - but this arrogance which leads anyone to claim to have the right to label their doctrine "biblical truth" is just breathtaking. After all, to claim you already have all truth is to deny that we will be led into all truth..... *Rant over. :-) “to declare biblical truth”

I spent too much time reading mailwatch.co.uk and have become to enured to that style of blogging. I hate racism especially the closet rascism of the Daily Mail and it was inappropriate for me to use that term even ironically. Mea Culpa. Sorry for my comments friend.

Isn't that reassuring for all us woolly, thinking, compassionate Christians? The Daily Mail trumpeted Oswald Mosley and the Fascists in the 30s. But worry not, dear reader, it has moved decisively to the Right since then... I have heard tell that there are some who believe the Daily Mail to be inerrant.
